Hi Tweets,
On 10/2 I had a White-throated Sparrow visit my yard and it stayed for 6 days and departed, not to be seen again. Last night as I was monitoring my yard at dusk, another White-throated flew in ( marked quite differently, especially on the throat, from my previous visitor) It was present this morning and while I watched it, it perched on a bush and started calling - sharp repeated notes. Not much later, another White-throated dropped into the yard. I now have 2 busy little White-throated Sparrows along with a Fox, Song and Golden-crowned Sparrow. Hoping they'll spend the winter.
